Blue smoke is oil. Could be valve stem oil seals or piston rings.

if that helps

To sort it out it will need the engine taking to pieces to find out why the oil is burning. costly, otherwise leave it to wear excessivly and blow up.

head gasket would be an indication of white smoke. Blue smoke means that oil is being burnt. would say piston rings or valve stem seals tbh. I think its VSS's if it smokes on start up and piston rings if its smoking while driving under load
